History

Aokijō was part of a localised network of forts built by the Taki Clan, which include Takikitajō, Takiminamijō, and Umegakijō. Aokijō was spead between two hillsides, the east castle and west castle, with residential areas inbetween potentially. Interestingly there is an old thatched roof house on either side of the road today, one in the west, one in the east.
